Protecting marine environments with Greenpeace

The Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise embarked on a six-week expedition around the Galápagos Islands to showcase the amazing benefits of strong marine protection for one of the world’s most celebrated natural treasures and its iconic local species.

The expedition showcased the power of marine protection by documenting the success of the Galápagos Marine Reserve through the incredible wildlife and habitats of the sea near the Galápagos.

Data collected during the expedition helps make the case for a new high seas protected area.

In 2024, players raised £1.5 million for Greenpeace Environmental Trust, which is the charitable arm of the wider Greenpeace movement.

This funding is helping to create a greener, healthier and more peaceful planet, one that can sustain life for generations to come.
